Shakopee City Council
November 1, 2022

FROM:William H. Reynolds, City Administrator
TO:Mayor and City Council Members
Subject:
Ordinance removing Sunday alcohol sales restrictions and conforming to State statute
Policy/Action Requested:
Adoption of Ordinance 02022-025 amending Section 114.16 of the Shakopee City Code pertaining to Sunday sales of alcoholic beverages. 
Recommendation:
Approval.
Discussion:

This Ordinance is brought at the behest of City Council to address the inability of patrons to purchase alcoholic beverages on a Sunday morning. Currently, sales are not permitted before 10:00 am on a Sunday, which can interfere with those wanting to watch sports programming in the morning and enjoy a tasty beverage. 

 

This change will eliminate the city's restriction and conform our ordinances to that of the state which currently allows the sale of alcoholic beverages starting at 8 am. 

Budget Impact:
None.
